Subject: [permaculture] Act now to protect small local food processors

The FDA is up to more shenanigans with their proposals for implementing
the Food Safety Modernization Act (a/k/a Destroy Local Ag Act).
Despite the Tester Hagan amendment mandating exemption of small farms
and food processors, the FDA is moving to apply the exemption for
processors to only those who sell "at the farm gate". Thus opening the
doors for severe regulations of sellers of prepared and processed foods
at farmers markets, stores, etc.
Today is apparently the last date for comments, they close at midnight.
